This is a Genuine Nissan rear axle leaf spring felt spacer seal, designed to fit between the leaf spring assembly and the rear axle housing on Nissan Navara D40 models equipped with rear drum brakes. This essential component acts as a barrier, preventing direct metal-to-metal contact and sealing the mounting point from contaminants.
Over time, the original felt seal can compress, tear, or completely perish due to constant load, suspension movement, and exposure to the elements. A failed seal allows water, dust, and grit to penetrate the gap between the spring and axle, which can lead to corrosion and persistent creaking noises. A severely compressed seal may also contribute to suspension U-bolts coming loose, impacting vehicle safety and handling. This part is sold individually.
Replacing this seal is a moderate workshop job that requires the vehicle to be lifted and the rear axle to be safely supported. The process involves removing the suspension U-bolts to access and replace the spacer. It is highly recommended to replace the suspension U-bolts at the same time, as they are designed for single use and can be stretched or corroded. This is also a good opportunity to inspect other suspension components like spring bushes and shackles.
This part is specifically for Thai Built D40 models.
